Still, the Seventies ended and prosperity returned. North Sea oil flowed. The silicon revolution came. The family silver was sold off and the unions tamed. Trouble is, few of these things are repeatable, and our level of trust in public authority has rarely been lower. But I dare say something will turn up. Meanwhile, all we can do is to contain our irritation and behave as well as we can bear to.

Don't make me come over there! The 24 hours of travel it would take me would be oh-so-worth-it!
